A Times special from Cannon Falls, MINI.

The loss will reach $500, 900.
CHEB0YGAN. Mich, Nav 2l
The farmers in this county are fighting
the forest fires to protect their lives and
homes from being destroyed. Immense
tracts of log timber are surrounded by fire
and the drought has dryed up all the creeks,
so that the mills can hardly be supplied with
logs aud msy have to shut down until the
situation is more favorable. In the vicinity
of uammond's Bay the fire is terrible, and
everything is laid waste in its path. Unless
rain soon comes the loss to the farmers and
lumbermen in this section will be heavy.
LACROSSE, Wis, May 2l.
Reports from the east fork of Black river
are quite alarming as to forest fires, which
are spreading all across the country, burning
standing timber and everything in their
path. At last accounts the flames were near

inevitable On the mead of the east fork the
landings have not yet been broken on account
OF the low streams aud the logs are at the
mercy Of the fire.

The Every Evening of Wilmington, Della

letter from President Cleveland:
MR. WILLIAM G. RoBELlS, Ousrtermaster
Wilmington:
Dear Sir-l am in receipt of your letter of

oiutions of General U. S Grant post No. Is,

through you 10 the members of the post nv
appreciation of their endorsement and nv
thanks for the courtesy manifested in the
form OF their approval.
1t sometimes happens that official conduct,
clearly demanded bv an imperative obligation
OF public duty, is made difficult by counter
influences and inelinstons, which grow out
of sympathy or BY disposition 10 follow with
ease and comfort the apparent current of
popular opinion. Those of our citizens not
holding office and thus entirely free from the
solemn obligation of protecting the interests
of the people. often fail to reslizs that their
public servants are TO a large extent debarred
IN official action from indulgence Of those
charitable impulses, which, in private life, is
not Only harmless but commendable, while
the deprivation should be regarded as one of
the stern incidents of a faithful performance
of official duty.
While this should be endured With the res.
ignation arising from an unfelt faith in the
ultimate justice of the American people, il is
nevertheless gratifying to receive such ex-
pressIOns as are contained in the resolutions
now before me.
Yours very truly,
